\title{MATLAB size function}
\description{
  Provides the dimensions of \code{X}.
}
\usage{
size(x, k)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{vector, matrix, or array}
  \item{k}{integer specifying a particular dimension}
}
\details{
  Returns the number of dimensions as \code{length(x)}.

  Vector will be treated as a single row matrix.
}
\value{
  vector containing the dimensions of \code{x}, or the \code{k}-th dimension
  if \code{k} is not missing.
}
\note{
  The result will differ from Matlab when \code{x} is a character vector.
